"Blue is the Color" Elizabeth Dock, Maryport Cumbria UK

            Maryport was a new town founded by local landowner Humphrey Senhouse in 1748/9 around the development of the harbor at the mouth of the River Ellen, In order to break into the lucrative coal export trade to Ireland extensive development took place in the second half of the 19th century with the arrival of the railway, the Elizabeth Dock opening in 1857,  on land reclaimed from the sea. In 1867, 3000 vessels a year were using the port, with nearly half a million tons of coal exported in that year. These remained the largest docks on the West Cumbrian coastline until 1927,  now only a small fishing fleet and a  Marina remains,
